While Marlins executive Derek Jeter said all the talk about trading the 2017 National League MVP is simply speculation, the Giants have reportedly made a big trade offer for Stanton which included all three of their top prospects including Christian Arroyo, who made his MLB debut in 2017.

The Cardinals were once believed to be the Giants' biggest threat to acquire Stanton, however, San Francisco now sees the rival Dodgers as the most serious threat to land the Marlins' right fielder.

While the Giants did offer up their top three prospects for Stanton, only one is ranked in the top 100, according to MLB.com. The Dodgers currently have six players ranked on the list including Alex Verdugo, who plays right field and would give the Marlins good return with a young player to fill Stanton's position in the long run.

The Giants simply don't have anything close to offer. Los Angeles also has more than enough money to eat Stanton's contract. The Giants do too, but with the prospects and the money the Dodgers have to throw around, they make a very intriguing trade partner.
